Demountable Flood Barriers

Flood Control International AUSTRALIA

Temporary Demountable Flood Barriers for Flexible Flood Protection

Our temporary flood barriers (or ‘demountables’) are engineered to provide similar levels of protection to permanent flood defences, but with the advantage of being fully removable when not required.

They can be supplied for virtually any configuration including arcs, closed rectangles or circles and straight runs of any length. The portable flood barrier design can be used on slopes up to 20° and can be stepped for steeper gradients.

This makes our demountable flood barriers ideal for building openings or as a continuous flood wall.

Each system is load calculated based on application and the prevailing flood conditions and can be configured for flood protection heights up to 4m. Single spans up to 3m are possible.

A four-sided detail is available for openings that may become fully submerged.

To facilitate installation in new builds, we can supply pre-formed ground plates with integral anchors for the demountable supports. Alternatively, drill and fix anchor sockets can be provided for unobtrusive fixing through finished paving.

Demountable Flood Barriers

Our demountable flood barriers can be retrospectively fitted to suitable existing foundations in which case load certified, chemically fixed sleeve anchors are used to attach the demountable supports.

Purpose designed seals that resist silt clogging and reform even after prolonged compression, together with vandal resistant covers and lockable clamps, make this flood barrier system ideal for locations where semi-permanent installation is a requirement.

Flood Barriers

Flood Gates

Demountable Flood Barriers

Removable Stop Log flood barriers are engineered to provide similar levels of protection to permanent flood defenses, but with the advantage of being fully removable when not required

Glass Flood Walls

Our glass flood wall barriers are made from high strength structural glass and engineered frames that withstand static and impact loads.

Flip Up Barriers

In order to provide unrestricted access to pedestrian and vehicle entrances, the flip-up flood barrier is fully recessed in to the ground when not in use.

Drop Down Barriers

When not in use the drop-down flood barrier is unobtrusively located above the top of the opening, ready to be lowered at a moment’s notice.

Lift Hinge Flood Gates

Our Lift-Hinge flood gates utilize a unique ‘raise-swing-lower’ mechanism and do not require recessed ground channels, raised ground beams or ramps, making them ideal for vehicle entrances and especially suitable for forklift or wheelchair access.

Swing Hinge Flood Gates

Designed and built to the same high standards as our lift-hinge flood gates, our swing-hinge flood gate products are ideal for opening where there is a step or ramp. The aluminum construction results in a light and easy to use door that provides full protection.

Sliding Flood Gates

Flood Control International’s sliding flood gate products are the product of many years of innovative design, enhancements and experience.

Pivot Flood Gates

Convenience and rapid operation make our pivot flood gates the ideal flash flood defence or spill containment barrier. They remain out of the way when not required but can be rapidly deployed when needed. They provide permanent flood resilience.
